Human Lollipops

Dum Dum Pops Ads

This playful ad campaign for Dum Dum Pops shows humans as three of the lollipop flavors. We have the banana, root beer, and mystery flavor.

In addition to being effective by communicating that the pops have a flavor strong enough to make you look like the flavors themselves, I love the art direction. The peeled banana is just the best.

The campaign was photographed by Bobby Prokenpek for Creative Circus ad agency in Atlanta with art direction by Peter Kehr.
